saws the western railroads do not attempt
at concealing their plans regarding the

contend that while these men are engaged
in the transportation of cattle they are as

their names were on the pay roll, for
otherwise substitutes would have to De

the result of driving from the market some
leading buyers who transferred their
orders to Chicago, where they had the
benefit of the Grand Trunk cut rate. In
self defense, Indianapolis and St. Louis

A shipper and one man for every two cars

The Large Fee of a London Physician.

court journal.
Physicians fees are sometimes nearly
equal to the fees of the leading members
of the bar, sometimes they are a little
over; for instance, distinguished physi-
clan was offered 500 guineas to pay visit
to a sick person who was residing a fair
distance off on the continent The doc
tor declined; more offers tempting him
were consecutively made till the bid Was
$4,000. This sum was also declined. But
ne was shortly after compelled to attend
some one else who was residing near this
tempting would-be patient, aid he
took the opportunity of looking in en-
route.
The physician was offered $4,000 on
leaving, but would not consent to receive
more than $500. A few days after his re-
turn to London he found that E4500 had
been placed to his credit st his bankers.
This sum he Immediately forwarded to
charitable institution, informing the
grateful and large paying patient of what
he had done, which entirely met with ap-
proval.
The physicians name will not be diff
cult to search out, for three steps through
the alphabet will bring one to the right
letter; the remaining ones can be easily
filed in by those who know the kind
hearted man.

GAINESVILLE, TEX April 29.-The pro-

was a large turnout, and the meeting was
addressed by R. V. Bell. The anti-Pro-

those opposed to prohibition in Texas,
believing the measure to be impolitic or
detrimental to the commercial interests
of the state and subversive of individual
liberty, something that was never con-
temnlatcd by the trainers of the constitu-
ton of the United States, nor by the re-
public or state of Texas, to meet at the

called the meeting to order. Organiza-

secretary; J. A. White of the Rural
News, Wills Point, assistant secretary.
Central committee was elected as follows
Hon. John T. Curry, W. A. Dawson,
Richard Castleberry, W. 0 Williams and
B. P. Riddle. So far, prohibition has
gained ground IN Van Zandt, but con-

that the gatherer of bones will not make
fortune or hardly good living by
picking them up and hauling them into
Collins, though in these impecunious
times it is a good deal better than doing
nothing.
From Collins went to what is
called the Little Pasture, about
five miles this side of Santa
Gertrudes, where Mrs. King, the widow
of the late Captain Richard King, resides.
The Santa Gertrudes ranch IS one of the
largest-f not the very largest-cattle
and horse ranch in Texas, and has with
its dependencies perhaps more land I'M
der fence and more stock confined within
its boundaries than probably any other in
the country; and l understood from Mr..
James M. Doughty, who is one OF the
principal managers in the employ of this
cattle queen, that they had branded more
than $4,000 calves last season. Now that
! makes their Dovines alone amount up to
hundreds of thousands, and they
have also very large number
of horse stock, jacks and lennets.
saw some very fine blooded stations,
and proof Jacks in the stables at the Little
pasture. These animals are periodically
turned in with the brood mares, and it is
no wonder that there are such excellent
half bred cow ponies used by the vac
Queros of the Santa Gertrudes. They

odd head of four year old cattle, which
have been shipped from that place to
Henrietta, in Northern Texas, and will
be driven on foot from there to the In

Bobeda, which is another ranch belong

about league of the Lsguna Madre, and
nearly about the same distance from the
county boundary line. At this latter
ranch stayed for week. While at La
Bobeda made the acquaintance of Don
Francisco Ramirez, who owns ranch
about four miles west of the Bobeda, and
q very pretty place 1t is, though not much

The grass was generally good, abun-
dapt and nutritious, but beginning tC

however, were fat and fine, but l only
met with two stock buyers, and they did
not purchase, although both Don Fran
cisco, RAMIREZ Domingo, Rotz and Others
had plenty of stock for sale and were
offering them at what I thought low

ponies, mules and other stock at the
same proportionally low prices.

says: R. G. Head John D. Brush, ex-
Governor Rouett and several other
prominent cattlemen held a secret meet
ing at the Windsor hotel yesterday, the
object of which has not been made pub

est of some gigantic project in connec-
ton with the cattle industry. A few
weeks ago Messrs. Head and ROuett were
in New York and Chicago working
up the matter. A prominent cattle
man in speaking upon the subject
said it was shrewdly suspected that
the gentlemen were drafting plans for
q corporation something similar to the
MCCLELLAN corporation, the plan Of which
proposed to pool the entire cattle interest
Of the west, and which created so much
discussion at the last session Of the In
ternational Range Association, held in
Denver IN February. 1t is further ru-
mored that the scheme upon which the
gentlemen are working is TO control the
beef market of the country, and that they
